A CORRECTION.
[To the Editor of the Daily Telegraph.] Sir, —In your last evening's paper I notice in my evidence before the magistrate the following words : —" There is not a man in Napier who can sec so well on a dark night or in daylight cither as I can." I wish to state that your reporter has made a slight mistake. The expression I used was—"l defy any man in Napier to see better (not as well) in" a dark night." That expression is quite strong enough without putting a short splice into it. That no man in Napier should be able to see as well as I would be a very silly thing to say, but I am not afraid of matching my eyes (though one is a little crooked) with any one in a dark night. —I am, lice., J. P. Ballk, Master Frank Gtiy. March 1, 1383.
